  pstore: Remove the messages related to compression failure (2013-09-16 09:28:29 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Three pstore fixes related to compression:
1) Better adjustment of size of compression buffer (was too big
   for EFIVARS backend resulting in compression failure
2) Use zlib_inflateInit2 instead of zlib_inflateInit
3) Don't print messages about compression failure.  They will
   waste space that may better be used to log console output
   leading to the crash.

      pstore: Adjust buffer size for compression for smaller registered buffers
      pstore: Use zlib_inflateInit2 instead of zlib_inflateInit
